The practical life within the practical world is mere illusi

The practical life within the practical world is mere an illusion. All our hopes and desires or pleasure and pain are reality within the illusion. We all are searching truth within the illusion not being aware of the fact that, the illusion is created out of single stuff which is:-Consciousness which is the inner most self. When the waking entity realizes it is not the self in the midst of the waking experience it enters the nondual self-awareness, which is free from form, time and space.

A Gnani is fully aware of ‘what is truth’ and ‘what is untruth’ and experiences the pleasure and pain of the illusory waking experience fully conscious of its unreal nature. Thus life within the waking experience will go on, on its own. It is nothing to do with the true self. The waking or dream is mere an object to the formless witness. The self or witness is nothing to do with the three states, because it is a mere witness of the three states or illusion.

It is erroneous to mix practical life and practical world in pursuit of truth and trying to manipulate ups and downs of practical life.

Noting disappears on the dawn of wisdom, but the unreal nature of the waking is exposed in the midst of duality in self-awareness. One sees his body as consciousness, his ego as consciousness and the world as consciousness thus there is a unity in diversity in his understanding and the unknown restlessness has disappeared. The self-awareness brings stillness of the mind in the midst action or duality.

Thus searching the truth within illusion with the illusory self, within the illusory experience, has to beillusion. The illusion is created, and sustained, and finally dissolves as consciousness, which is Soul/Self. Since, there is no second thing other than the consciousness; the consciousness itself is ultimate truth or Brahman. --FORMLESS PATH

The consciousness is the one Truth, and a Gnani is person who had realised this soul as self, but outwardly he views worldview on the dualistic standpoint.

As a seeker one is aware of only the physical (false) aspect of the consciousness and then by a gradual process of reasoning to strengthen the foundations of spiritual (real) aspect of consciousness.

The highest principle, the self of all, cannot be a Person. The waking or dream is an individual and the sum total of all waking or dreams is the consciousness. In the waking or dream, ignorance is predominant, but consciousness controls illusion composed of ignorance and knowledge and independently projects this mind, which contains the world of moving and immovable things out of itself.

But consciousness transcends the individual and collective aspects, the waking or dream and soul. In the soul, which is in the form of consciousness there is no part. It is for the sake of easy comprehension that parts have been imagined in It.

The waking or dream and the universe are merely mirage created out of consciousness. That the mind consists only of name and form. It endures only so long as there are name and form. When through inquiry, analysis and reasoning name and form are dissolved, and then only the transcendent consciousness prevails.

Then the separate reality of waking and the universe (mind) is felt no longer remains as reality. Then it is realised that one is the ultimate truth. The real nature of the mind is consciousness. When the veil of name and form vanishes through wisdom, then that idea is simply realised

By limiting the consciousness to the physical body one remains ignorant of the fact that, the consciousness is, which is true self pervades in everything and everywhere in the physical existence. By limiting the consciousness to the physical he remains in doubts and confusion about his own formless true existence.

Only Through inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the formless base he has to understand, assimilate and grasp the nondual truth. Whatever he thinks on the base of the physical self ,waking or dream must be limited to the physical existence or mind.

It is the natural tendency of man to argue, from the base of the physical self and physical world, because man is a product of ignorance. The truth is beyond the physicality, therefore on has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the base of the formless true self, in order to overcome the ignorance. It is necessary analyse the truth on the base of the soul, in order to assimilate the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.

Man can only think of his ideal as a human being. When buffeted by sorrow in this world of disease and death he is driven to desperation and helplessness, then he seeks refuge with someone, relying on whom he may feel safe. But where is that refuge to be found? The omnipresent soul, which depends on nothing else to support it, is the only Refuge.

At first man does not find that. When discrimination and dispassion arise in the course of his quest for truth, he comes to know it. But in whatever way he may progress on the path of truth, he is unconsciously awakening consciousness within him. But there is no other means other then the path of inquiry, analysis and reasoning.

Those who have faith in the Personal God will not be able to grasp the nondual truth because they are holding on to that idea of god imagined on the base of the false self(waking entity or ego) within the false experience(waking) . Sincere and serious seekers will come the awakening of consciousness within. The knowledge of self is the one goal of the truth seeker. Various ideas are the various paths will not lead to nondual destination. Although the real nature of the mind is consciousness, still as he has identification consciousness with the physical body, is the cause of the suffering from all sorts of doubts and difficulties and experiences the pleasure and pain as reality.

Everything within the waking or dream is creation of consciousness. No one can escape the illusory experience of birth, life, death and the world until they realises his identity with consciousness.

When the desire for freedom becomes very strong, and along with it comes the grace of a person of realisation, then man's desire for Self -Knowledge becomes intensified. Otherwise, the mind of men given to lust and greed never inclines that way. How should the desire to know the ultimate truth arise in one who has the hankering in his mind for the pleasures of family life, for wealth and for fame?

He who is prepared to renounce the ignorance will be able to grasp the nondual truth. Who is immersed in strong current of the duality believing it as reality without verify the facts will never be receptive to assimilate the Self - knowledge. He alone by the might of the sword of Self-knowledge will be able to break the barriers of illusion.

Without wisdom, there can be no Self- Knowledge. The wisdom can be got by getting rid of ignorance. Only through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the base of the soul as self the ignorance vanishes.

Neither by spiritual practice nor by yoga nor by hearing sermons ultimate truth is difficult to realise. Without realizing the fact that, the world is an illusion, without renunciation of ignorance , without giving up the illusion which one believes it to be real , absolutely nothing can be accomplished in the path of truth. Truth is not a thing anyone can snatch by a trick."
